"Developmental dyspraxia is an impairment or immaturity of the organisation of movement. It is an immaturity in the way that the brain processes information, which results in messages not being properly or fully transmitted. The term dyspraxia comes from the word praxis, which means ‘doing, acting’. Dyspraxia affects the planning of what to do and how to do it. It is associated with problems of perception, language and thought.
Dyspraxia is thought to affect up to ten per cent of the population and up to two per cent severely. Males are four times more likely to be affected than females. Dyspraxia sometimes runs in families. There may be an overlap with related conditions.
Other names for dyspraxia include Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD), Perceptuo-Motor Dysfunction, and Motor Learning Difficulties. It used to be known as Minimal Brain Damage and Clumsy Child Syndrome.
Statistically, it is likely that there is one child in every class of 30 children. We need to make sure that everyone understands and knows how best to help this significant minority." - http://www.dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/about-dyspraxia
"Everyone who has dyspraxia is unique. Remember that the difficulties you have may
not be the same as someone else, and the strategies that they use may not suit you
as well.
If you have dyspraxia it means that you are likely to have some difficulty with the
skills needed for calculating and using numbers, and for using maths in everyday life.
difficulties You may have difficulties with:
Memorising, for example, multiplication tables;
Learning or applying rules;
Sequencing, for example, remembering the order in which things should be
Copying quickly and correctly;
Self organisation and planning" - http://www.q4s.eu/resources
